Andonstar AD407 7’’ Display Digital Microscope: Review

Cheap but functional with good core values, somewhat unfinished firmware … ↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓ I’ve already unboxed it (link below) and teared it down in an attempted to affix the lose display, partially destroying the LCD in the process (link below). So now it’s high time to assess it in detail. It offers good optical qualities from the lens over the sensor to the display and the processing in between. These are supported by a cheap but working stand with sufficient LED lighting. The firmware and the remote are lacking a bit though. 00:00 Intro – review of the Andonstar AD407 00:07 Display – actually quite good 02:51 Stand – cheap, lightweight, but functional 03:35 Headspace – not great out of the box, but easily improved 06:01 Field of view – a wee bit small 07:59 Focus distance – some surprise here 09:02 Depth of field – not really as good as advertised 10:17 Tilting – it kinda works, but it’s mostly a gimmick 12:47 Lag – barely noticeable 13:55 Lighting – two LEDs that are more than bright enough 15:27 Workspace – good enough for Euro boards 16:43 Buttons – only a few functions and some quirks 20:07 Remote – the rest of the functionality and more quirks 25:10 Video – works but ignores settings 25:42 Wrap-up – good core qualities but the rest is a bit cheesy Reviews:    • Reviews   Andonstar AD407 7’’ Display Digital Microscope: Unboxing:    • Andonstar AD407 7’’ Display Digital Micros...   Andonstar AD407 7’’ Display Digital Microscope: Teardown & “Repair”:    • Andonstar AD407 7’’ Display Digital Micros...   #robertssmorgasbord #review #reviews #test #tests #digitalmicroscope #microscope
